Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I rise in the House again today because I'm concerned about a news story I read today with regard to someone being reprimanded for the usage of French. Mr. Speaker, French is an official language not just in the Northwest Territories, but in Canada. Mr. Speaker, languages should never just be tolerated, but they should be celebrated. The respect for language goes much more beyond a household, it must be acknowledged publicly. Mr. Speaker, my question to the Premier of the Northwest Territories is what is the Premier's position and the government's position on the usage of official languages, both territorial as well as national, in our bureaucracy? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
